Faith Baptist Church is thrilled to be able to support almost 40 missionary
families living around the world. When most people think of supporting
missionaries the first two things that come to mind are monetary gifts and
prayers. But another way Faith Baptist Church enjoys supporting its
missionaries is by keeping a stocked "Missionary Closet".
Our "Missionary Closet" is room where items especially chosen and bought for
our missionaries are kept. Every time a missionary family comes to our
church, each member is able to go to the "Missionary Closet" and take things
they can use. Our goal is to provide the much-needed necessities.
Missionaries frequently have rigorous travel schedules and often live out of
their suitcases for weeks at a time while they are on deputation or
furlough, visiting churches and family.
An array of toiletries, car tools and school supplies are the most sought
after items. We also want to provide things like travel games, books, and
CDs to make their travel more comfortable. Then we thoroughly enjoy
providing extra-special items the missionary families may not be able to buy
themselves.
We hope our "Missionary Closet" is one more way we can let our missionary
families know how much we appreciate them.
